Chapter 67: Here He Comes!
“Yeah, we came here as soon as we received your message. If you’re trying to mess with us, we won’t hold back,” the Swordsman said with a laugh, pointing his long saber at Li Li.
“Meow meow~ （Could you have a little patience? I haven’t even spoken yet, what’s the rush? ）” Li Li said, swatting the blade with his paw in annoyance.
A bunch of pretentious guys, acting tough in front of him? What’s the use of threatening him with a blade to his neck? Would they dare to make a move before getting information?
“Then hurry up and speak.” Feeling the force on his blade, the Swordsman retracted his weapon.
“Meow meow~ （I will, don’t worry. ）” Li Li jumped onto the large mech, tapped on it with his paw, and said, “Meow meow~ （That dumb zombie was indeed chasing us, but we used a little trick to shake him off. But calculating the time, he should have realized he’s been played. ）”
“Meow meow~ （If nothing unexpected happens, he should be here soon. After all, this dumb zombie isn’t really dumb. I’ve never seen any dumb zombie who can drive a hot air dirigible. ）”
“Really? Then how are you sure he will come after you?” the Witch asked curiously. “I’ve always wanted to ask that Zombie King why he’s so fixated on you.”
“Yes, what exactly did you do to him?” The Sword Cultivator chimed in. Judging from yesterday’s situation, these two little guys must have done something to enrage the Zombie King greatly.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ignored their attacks and only pursued these two.
“Meow meow~ （You have the nerve to ask about that? It’s all because of you guys! ）” Li Li instantly bristled upon hearing this. “Meow meow~ （My good brother and I were having a nice nap underground when this guy suddenly jumped out and started chasing us like a madman. I have no idea how we offended this lunatic! It was you guys who attacked him in the square, yet he’s acting like we are his enemies for some reason! ）”
“Gulu gulu~ （Exactly! We didn’t even lift a finger. ）” Matthew, who was standing, chimed in. Thinking about everything that had happened from yesterday to now, it could be summed up in one sentence: a disaster for no reason.
“Do you think we’ll believe the nonsense you two are spouting? That Zombie King chased you as if you killed his father.”
“Yeah, you two didn’t do anything, how is that possible?” Hearing this, the Swordsman and the others shook their heads in unison.
They didn’t believe a single word these two little guys said.
“I actually believe what they’re saying.” The cloaked Mage spoke up, and everyone’s eyes turned to her as if to say, “How can you believe that?”
In response to everyone’s questioning gaze, the Mage held up her magic ball and said, “My magic ball can only determine whether they are telling the truth or lying. And after he said those words, the magic ball hasn’t lit up at all. This proves that what he just said is indeed true.”
“No way! Don’t tell me that Zombie King is chasing them because he likes to eat cat meat and little dwarves.”
“Right, that sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?” The players couldn’t help but say one after another.
These two didn’t provoke the Zombie King, and yet he’s chasing them for no reason?
“Meow meow~ （Anyway, I’ve told you the truth, believe it or not. ）” Li Li shrugged upon hearing this, his little ears twitching. He then looked up at the sky and said,
“Meow meow~ （Also, the guy you’re looking for is here. ）”
As he expected, after the big zombie realized they were gone, he immediately turned back.
But is it really okay for this guy to dive down from thousands of meters in the air?
“What?” Hearing this, the players all looked up and saw a figure in the sky growing larger and larger.
It was the Zombie King diving down towards them. The friction between his massive body and the air produced a sound like metal clashing.
“Gulu gulu~ （That’s scary…… ）” Seeing this scene, Matthew was completely stunned.
How could there be such a terrifying creature? To actually jump down directly from thousands of meters in the air.
“Meow meow~ （You still have the leisure to be shocked? If we don’t run now, it’ll be even scarier later. ）” Li Li, who had jumped down, said as he grabbed Matthew’s collar and ran.
This little guy still had the mood to be shocked? Did he know what would happen if such a huge guy jumped down from thousands of meters and landed on a stool?
If they were unlucky, they might be crushed to death by him.
“Gulu gulu~ （That’s right, Brother Cat, let’s run! ）” Hearing this, Matthew’s face instantly changed. It was as if he could already imagine what would happen to the two of them next.
“Meow meow~ （We’re already running, what are you distracted by? ）” Li Li flung his head, tossing Matthew onto his back and securing him with his tail. He said in annoyance,
This little guy, why was he so slow? They had already run eight blocks away before he came to his senses.
“Gulu gulu~ （Oh, wow, Brother Cat, you’re so fast! I didn’t even react. ）” Matthew, realizing they had arrived at an empty space, laughed awkwardly, lowering his head to ease his embarrassment.
“Meow meow~ （Of course. ）” Li Li said nonchalantly, standing in the weed-filled clearing and staring at the sky as the whistling sound grew louder.
“Whoosh whoosh”
At this moment, the other players also landed beside them.
“Meow meow~ （What are you guys following us for? That idiot is about to fall over there. ）” Li Li’s face instantly fell when he noticed them.
Were these guys kidding? Instead of dealing with that dumb zombie, they were chasing after him?
“We know, but that’s going to be his landing point. You think we have iron skin and bones to go head-to-head with him?” The Gnoll said irritably.
Even though they liked to fight head-on, they weren’t suicidal, were they?
“That’s right, and that Zombie King has been chasing you two. It’s much better for us to stay by your side than to chase after him,” the Mage said with a smile, her magic book covering half of her body.
“Meow meow~ （So you’re using us as bait? Well, you have to be able to catch us first. ）” Li Li said, glancing at the players.
The situation was clear now; these guys wouldn’t let them escape again.
They wanted to use them to attract the attention of the big zombie, and their only advantage was their speed.
He had just noticed that although these guys were quite strong, their speed didn’t seem to be as fast as his.
